Apple calls these devices portable computers, and doesn’t recommend them to be on your lap. They may have been used on laps a while ago when they comfortably worked on top of people’s legs with the help of the large sturdy bases that they used to have, but most portables are now too thin for that purpose. Aren’t they usually called Notebooks these days, like in NotebookCheck?

They released the $400 iPad mini 6th gen on the same day, and with the same chipets, as their $1000 iPhone 13 Pro. If they’re serious about selling “console-quality” games they should get to it on the thing that people already have connected to their TV.
